Mzansi's music industry is never short of beefs or artists bickering with one another. This latest one is, amapiano sensationFocalistic setting the record straight following rapper Cassper Nyovest's diss.
It started when Cassper Nyovest had some words about Focalistic on his verse on a song titled OohAhh. One would think perhaps it was words of encouragement, meanwhile Cassper Nyovest took a massive dig at Focalistic. On his verse, Cassper Nyovest sounds rather infuriated with the hip hop and rap scene in Mzansi, Nyovest goes to say that he inspired a lot of artists include Focalistic.
“Inspired everyone of you nigg*s, including Foca,” said Cassper Nyovest
Its only been a week or so, as Focalistic takes on social media to address the matter at hand. While in Paris, France, Focalistic made it pretty clear that even though he was inspired by Cassper Nyovest, he is still baffled by being mentioned on his verse like somebody wants to be remunerated or credited for Focalistic's success.
Focalistic loosely said, yes, Cassper inspired me but inspiration doesn't have an invoice, even Michael Jackson inspired me but I can't pay him because he is no more. So, if you inspired it is okay, now I am at the Eiffel Tower, from Pretoria to Paris
Back in 2019, Focalistic was indeed singing Cassper Nyovest's praises as someone who has inspired him a great deal in the music industry. However, one would argue whether or not this warranted Cassper Nyovest to make it seem as though all Focalistic's success should be credited to him. Screenshots from 2019, Focalistic wasn't shy to praise Cassper Nyovest for featuring him in a song.
"I really have a song with my biggest inspiration! I cant sleep! We made a SMASH at that. GOD BLESS Cassper Nyovest, Never Know is the a big a TUNE. Pitori Maftown! Kaofela" wrote Focalistic Focalistic - Twitter Screenshot Even back in 2018, Focalistic was still singing Cassper Nyovest's praises, even though they didn't have a song together back then. So, in actual fact Cassper Nyovest has really played a pivotal role in Focalistic's music journey thus far.
"If Cassper Nyovest doesn't at least inspire you to be better in anything you do... you must have a problem" wrote Focalistic Focalistic - Twitter Screenshot Tweeps are arguing and it appears that Focalistic could be a hypocrite since in actual fact, Cassper Nyovest is really echoing what Focalistic has been saying about him being an inspiration even before he stepped into the music industry. Could it be because now that Focalistic has a brand for himself, that is what causing his anger and outrage.
"My question is was Focalistic dissing himself when he was saying Cassper Nyovest inspired him? Coz now it seems like Cassper is wrong for saying same thing you said" wrote Crabow Bogosi
